Medford, Oregon - Marc Lipp, Bert Peacher and the rest of NRA Law Enforcement's Competition staff spent the better part of two weeks in a town called Medford. They were there for the fourth NRA Tactical Police Competition of the year. This time they were stationed at the Jackson County Sports Park.
Constructing courses named Baton Transition, Shield Shooting 101 and Rifle Position Work, they welcomed officers from as close as the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office and as far away as the Albany Police Department. After battling the daily drizzle and the rest of the field, here's how the top shooters finished up.
